hi,
trying to get my display card to provide my wide screen monitor with its native, though exotic, resolution of 1360 x 768  at 60hz under mac os 7 i ran into "resolution manager" here on this wonderful website. an ingenious piece of software, to be sure, but, alas, i´m far from able to add my resolution to the list of resolutions it is provided with. does someone know how to do the trick? i wouldn´t mind using resedit, if i only knew where to look for the resource to bend.

thanks a million,
olav

What is the video card in question? It may not (probably won't) work with an older video card.

Don't speak too soon...

Someone on 68kmla has managed to get up to 1920x1080 working on the Power Mac 8500's built-in video with some hacking...

i´ve tried it with a formac proformance III, 16 mb.  

now i replaced it by a rage 128 16 mb ( which  surprised me by beeing slower in 2d acceleration). but in both cases "resolution manager" only shows me the same resolutions i could as well pick from the monitor control panel or, in the case of the formac card, from its own control panel called "pro graphics".

it´s a long list in both cases, including maybe more usual widescreen resolutions like 1920 x 1080 , but no 1360 x 768. so i should probably do something the people in the link from post above did to the driver of the 8500´s built in graphic card, to the driver of the rage 128, but that´s not going to happen. unless i find a website where somebody did just that and explained to the more feeble minded.

i sort of do believe this "resolution manager" could do it. am i wrong?
